UK Nazis Invite Galloway to Address Rally

One of the main organizers of a neo-Nazi rally targeting London's Jewish community has extended an invitation to far-left politician George Galloway to address the gathering of anti-Semites, citing Galloway's stance on Jews and Israel as a common cause.

Joshua Bonehill, a fascist activist and convicted petty criminal who initiated the so called "anti-Jewification" initiative targeting British Jews, announced on his website that he had personally invited Galloway to speak at the rally.

While noting that on most other things "George Galloway and myself are completely ideologically opposed,” seeing as “Galloway is a socialist, a mixer of race and indeed a dog in the eyes of many," he added that "in the interest of balance and his stance towards Israel and Jewry, he has been invited to speak on July 4th at Golders Green."

The date and location of the anti-Semitic rally is no coincidence: July 4 is the first Shabbat of the month, and Golders Green is at the heart of London's Jewish community.

Galloway, who intends to run for the post of mayor of London, recently said that he plans to use his hoped for position to rally support for the Palestinian cause.

According to a Jewish Chronicle report, Galloway does not plan to name the British capitalan "Israel-free zone," as he did to the constituency he used to represent, but rather will use the job of mayor to promote his "moral position" on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“The mayor is not the pope and the mayor is not the president and he is not the prime minister or the foreign secretary,” the Respect Party leader was quoted as saying.

“Of course, it’s unimplementable. It is a moral position and my moral position on Palestine is well known," Galloway asserted.
